Q: I permanently work and reside in Sydney, Australia with family while not owning any property here. My parents live in Lahore, Pakistan in a house under their ownership whereas I own a residential plot in Islamabad, Pakistan.
I'd like to know if I am travelling and staying at any of the above three locations under 14 days, where should I offer full prayers and where would qasr prayer be required?
Q: Insha Allah I have intention for Hajj. So we leave on the 28th of April from JHB.
We'll be 10 days in Makkah
Then 12 days in Azzizia
Then 6 days of Hajj
Then another 6 days in Azzizia.
So what I want know is where am I musaafir in this whole trip and where am I muqeem? Do I regard Makkah and Azzizia as 1 or what?
Q: A person leaves his home for travels. The airport is approx 20km away. Does he read Qasr Salaah at the airport, as it is still within the boundary of his home, or does he qualify for Qasr Salaah as he already left home with the intention of traveling?
Q: A person travels regularly between PMB and Durban. He has a daughter in Overport where he stays occasionally and he knows that till this point, he is not a musaafir.
However, when he leaves PMB with the intention of visiting family in Isipingo (safr distance), but only after staying the night at Overport (meaning he will only go Isipingo the next day), will he be a musaafir from the time he leaves PMB?
If, as above, he intends to visit Isipingo (the next day) and reaches Overport, but then changes his intention and decides not to go (as the family member is not there), will he be a musaafir?
Similarly, if he leaves with no intention of visiting Isipingo, but only decides to visit Isipingo when he reaches Overport, will he be regarded as a musaafir (since the total distance with Isipingo will be more than safr distance)?
Q: Can a woman travel from a mahram to a mahram via a flight less than 3 hours?
Q: When traveling, how do I calculate safr distance? I am leaving from my house in Johannesburg to another place. From my house to the destination is 80km. But from the outskirts of my city to the outskirts of the place is 65km.
Do we work with the full distance or from the outskirts to the outskirts of the city?
Q: A woman completes her haidh at home but only has a ghusl after reaching her destination which is muaafir distance. Will she read salaah as a musaafir or not?
Q: I travel 150 km daily for work. Should I pray qasar or normal?
Q: Is it correct that with regards to Salaah of a woman whose haidh ends after reaching her destination (Safr distance) that she should follow her husband and perform Qasr Salaah.
Does this apply to all Mahaarim?
If this is not correct, what is the correct ruling.
Q:
1. If a person travels overseas for 5 weeks but every weekend he travels safr distance for sight seeing and returns to the hotel at night, will he be a musafir during those 5 weeks?
2. If he travels out of the area that his hotel is in but it is not safr distance, will he still be considered a musafir?
